Bible. Hosea
28:005:008 Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry
aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin.
28:005:009 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the
tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
28:005:010 The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound:
therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
28:005:011 Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he
willingly walked after the commandment.
28:005:012 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house
of Judah as rottenness.
28:005:013 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then
went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet
could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.
28:005:014 For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to
the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will
take away, and none shall rescue him.
28:005:015 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their
offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek
me early.
28:006:001 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and
he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
28:006:002 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will
raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
28:006:003 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his
going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto
us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
28:006:004 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do
unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the
early dew it goeth away.
28:006:005 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them
by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light
that goeth forth.
28:006:006 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of
God more than burnt offerings.
28:006:007 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have
they dealt treacherously against me.
28:006:008 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted
with blood.
28:006:009 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of
priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit
lewdness.
28:006:010 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is
the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
28:006:011 Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I
returned the captivity of my people.
